August Meier papers
1930-1998Since the early 1960's August Meier has been a major force in the study of African-American history in his examination of late nineteenth and twentieth century America by his application of rigorous social and intellectual analysis. Meier was actively involved in the civil rights movement and studied its origins and development. He taught at three historic black colleges followed by twenty years at Kent State University. As editor of two major series on blacks in America, he influenced scholars and students alike.
Born in 1923 in Newark, New Jersey, Meier was reared in upwardly mobile, middle class surroundings. He openly acknowledges his parents' influence on his intellectual development--his East European Jewish mother was a teacher and vice principal of a public school, his father was a chemist. His parents had met in the Socialist Party--his mother, of German extraction, came from a family of radical intellectuals. By the mid-1930's his pa

Brody Condon is part of a group of artists who take inspiration from and transform their adolescent memories of these technological advancements. To create DeRez FX.Kill (KarmaPhysics<Elvis), Condon modified a version of Unreal, a series of first-person computer games released between 1998 and 2007. Condon isolated the programming in the game’s original real-time physics system—called Karma, it controls what happens to a character when they are killed—and immerses the viewer in an endless abyss of pink dimma filled with countless flailing Elvis Presley bodies. Here, “The King of Rock and Roll” lives on forever as the figures float aimlessly in space. In this work, Condon has commented that he misuses the Karma system as a “new representation of death via code, not just the visual surface of trauma but the physical dynamics of the falling figure.” While the premise of the work may seem |
